Resume: Wile E. Coyote

[Pedersen]

No, I'm not kidding.

I'm working on a resume management application. It's going to be web based, and have a ton of features for helping people put their resume online, controlling visibility, and sending things out so others can get your resume in the way you want them to.

Now, the problem is that I'm making an open source application. I need to ship it with a default resume. Using my own resume just seems wrong, so that leaves me with finding another resume to use. I decided to make it a fun one.

That's right, I'm shipping it with a resume for Wile E. Coyote.

Problem is that I'm sitting here, tying to come up with jobs, skills, and projects, and (somehow) I'm actually drawing a blank. This should be easy, but I'm having a hard time.

Anybody got some resume pieces they can think of for good old Wile E.? I'd appreciate it. And I think everybody else could have some fun with it. So, please, post here.

What jobs has he had? How would he write it up? What skills does he have? What projects has he done? Help a guy out, please!

Well, let's start with the obvious: He has training as an engineer and a decent grasp of physics (either the Road Runner doesn't or the world doesn't use them). He has access to a multitude of different products but through one company so he's either an engineer for Acme or a tester. From Wikipedia (take it for what you will):

"How the coyote acquires these products without money is not explained until the 2003 movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action, in which he is shown to be an employee of Acme."

He is well educated and intelligent, introducing himself as a "super genius" (Operation: Rabbit).

An apprenticeship with Rube Goldberg, perhaps?

Well, for one, he has excellent health considering how many times he's been run over/bombed/dropped from a cliff. He's a good painter! He's done so well it turned into reality a couple of times! Also has an immense understanding of physics and gravity.

I like the Job Title of Super Genius

[Pedersen]

Okay, I've made progress, and used the info and ideas people have provided here.

Right now, I've got basic contact info for him (all fake, of course). I've listed two jobs ("Inventor and Super Genius" and "Product Tester for ACME Corporation"), but really need a third.

For the resume format I build, I also put together a skills matrix. This includes tables which list types of skills, and specific skills within them. Aside from the IED Disposal idea, this is empty for me.

I also put projects into the resume (don't worry, even though it's a lot, the way I break it down means you can have your choice of a 1, 2, or 3 page resume, and interviewers so far seem to like it). Right now, I only have one project: Gravitational Anomaly Research. I need a second project.

So, suggestions for the third job, any of the skills, or his second project?

[Mytical]

Skills : Engineer, Demolitions...

As for the third job..I would suggest military of some sort. Where else would he get the skills to set up all the traps? Even though they all backfire, it mostly seems just horrible luck and faulty equipment (and faulty physics).

[dalesys]

Well, his military specialty must have been... Target!

for everything from pub darts to H-Bombs.

[Kittish]

Well, the physicist and demolitions tester are already there. He's also a professional stunt coyote. I mean, he has to be, right, with all the falls he's taken and trucks he's been run over by. Oh, and probably a pilot as well. How many times has he gotten on some contraption that stalls out midair and leaves him hanging? And I like the idea of having Super Genius as his professional title, much the way folks would use M.D. or PhD after their names.

Okay, I've swiped "Professional Stunt Coyote" for the third job. I liked that one a lot. I've also added "Military Experience" as a skill group. I think between that, artistry, mechanical, and physics skills, he's well rounded there.

But what about another project? Aside from "Gravitational Anomaly Research", what else were his major projects? Anybody else got one?
